My now 12 year old has had this bed for a year and a half. I was able to assemble it myself and it is sturdy even when she has myself or multiple friends sitting on it with her. I was warrior due to her age that the underneath part would be too low but our ceilings are low so I didnt want higher because I wanted her to sit and hang out comfortably on the top as well. She would up putting a twin mattress on the floor underneath and sits down there or her friend sleeps down there occasionally. When older I assume shell use that area for storage of things. Great quality and we love it.
Love this bed
